Knife-edge applications
Rotating and also rolling knife-edges are used in material handling, primarily on conveyor belts for the food industry and for the beverage industry.
In many applications, igus® knife-edges from high-performance plastics help to transfer the transported goods to downstream conveyors during the deflection. The advantages are the lack of lubricants, reduced drive power due to rolling knife-edges, increased service-life of the conveyor belt, accurate and lubricant-free deflection and tight deflection radii.
Application areas:
Application examples
Conveyor belts
Advantages:
Complete avoidance of lubrication on the belt deflection
Reduced drive power compared to gliding knife-edges
Increased service life of the belt
Injection molded iglidur® rollers provide cost advantages compared to rotated PET-P versions
Better specific wear compared to PET-P
Bottle washing machine
By the application of iglidur® RN plain bearings, the drive energy required for the bottle washing machine could be significantly reduced.
Conveyor
In this application, the iglidur® J plain bearings replace the lubricated ball bearings.
